NIN - Closer (Precursor)

[Klutt337h]

You guys do realize every generation says that about the previous ones music.

[Struckworld]

@Klutt337h Yeah, I can't stand it when they brag about it.

[PUNISHERWarzone87]

This version of this song also reminds me of Robert De Niro in The Fan.

[NathalieHyde]

the best remix ever:)

[OMGitsFay]

@DisgorgedCorpse That's true, most of the songs on the radio get all the airplay they do because they're so easy to listen to. Modern rap is vomit-inducing. Anyway, it just sounded like you were saying "people who like to listen to rock/metal are better than people who listen to pop/rap" and I wanted to see what you meant. :P

[a1b26600]

@OMGitsFay pop/rap? I thought it went this way alternative/rap,metal/rock,pop­/electronica,opera/classical

[OMGitsFay]

@a1b26600 When I say "pop/rap" I mean "pop OR rap", since those were the two separate genres in question.

[OMGitsFay]

@DisgorgedCorpse Listening to metal/rock doesn't mean you have balls.

[theDoomguy2011]

WHAT'S IN THE BOX!?

[KasperiHelin]

This song makes me paranoid

[fordxd1979]

advice about bosses. stand up for yourselves. everytime they break you verbally they win. you dont need to be there as you are more intellegent and can see through mind games and they hate ya for that fact. you will find sombody who will support you properly and treat you fairly. but ya gotta have the balls to quit the second they start on ya and remember, nothings worse than a boss that is down on ya all the time. ya may as well sit at home and find somone with decency treat you fairly.

[SunSerenity]

Finally found it. With this song, the Se7en intro makes you taste what you're gonna watch.

[admtm24]

This puts me in a trance.

[Abortive]

i conjured up a music video. most of the treatments are abstract noise. my reflection is when i justified my head exploding on IV cocaine.. to the legend of deviance in no romance to the music videos. that impoded upon a junction and bipolar serial killer mindgame made up by now washed out RCMP fuckheads...

[3018mercintell]

I imagine the worst things i could to my asshole boss, who undermines feelings of disabled workers. I'd play this in the basement of some abadoned apt. where the plaster peels off and cracks off the walls. I'd be drunk in my amusement, torturing this fuck. One dim light, swings above his head, tied to an old chair, mouth tapped, rubber gloves used for industrial chemicals only and a lovely mask. i feel better now. thank u nin.

[texasB666]

@3018mercintell Like Henry Miller once wrote: "Just shoot your boss in the head."

[3018mercintell]

@texasB666 come on now, that's no fun. like the joker said "A gun is too quick...."

[3018mercintell]

If i'm having a bad at work, where my boss is a fucking asshole that day. I come home and watch Se7en. I feel better and go on with my day.

[frackencool777]

kids lol they LOVE NINE INCH NAILS what r u talkin about

[DrGregWillson]

My favorite movie, and favorite musician brought into one. I love it.

[LordWolfOR]

what's in the box???? What's in the fucking box???

[texasB666]

"...it didn't work out. So i brought you a souvenir.... Her pretty head."

[SirHarlequinXx]

I love how I knew this song for ages not knowing that it was the intro for Se7en and when I saw the intro for Se7en I freaked out.

[orichalcossaiyan]

Forgive me if you don't agree but I consider Se7en to be a superior film to Silence of the lambs that whole sense of not knowing is far more creepy than knowing what really is going on.

[orichalcossaiyan]

I keep thinking about Gwenyth paltrow's head being cut off as this plays.

[bloodchild03]

They couldn't have picked a better credit scene opener for SE7EN than this song. Love it!

[MrPekingCat]

Conceptually this song really doesn't seem to have anything to do with film..

[orichalcossaiyan]

@MrPekingCat I think the song is meant to be the mind of a serial killer it sounds funky and creepy and downright crazy all at the same time.

[MrPekingCat]

@orichalcossaiyan Conversely, the mind behind the voice in the song is of one who is conscious of the sin he is bathed in (lust) and only seems to use this awareness as a means to gratify his own selfish desires in an attempt to purify his being. Though the killer in the film was aware of his own sin (envy), his desire was to be expunged of his impurity by performing his 'selfless' deed of murdering other sinful individuals who chose to live in denial before wiping himself clean from this world.

[zonilo1]

Deep into a mind of a mad man...

[fuct79]

That's sad :(

[TheKungfu4life]

justin bieber disliked this video. who else could?

[FlyingPaladin617]

Best fucking movie ever!

[EssexKyleM87]

This song is the fucking nuts

[bigyellowdoggie]

Finally saw the movie Seven last weekend, and while it was a great movie I couldn't stop thinking of the NIN remix in the opening credits.

[BM151]

The Intro to Se7en... Awesome Track!

[666snyder]

You know when u get chills just listening to music it's fucking badass

[camersworld]

this song went perfectly with the opening credits of se7en, they could have used Ghosts IV - 33 by Nine Inch Nails too

[RygorMortys]

@camersworld Lol, you forget the release dates.

[bwnorx]

does anyone else think this is just scary as hell? like, literally...

[taylz94]

@bwnorx That's why i love it

[666snyder]

Trent Reznor is a brilliant man

[Smithereen1]

When I was 15, I took GCSE Art and we were doing stuff on opening titles, we had to recreate one frame of any movie opening we wanted in whatever, like paints or pencil.

and I was stuck on what to do, and my teacher said, "you should watch Seven. Your kind of into films like that." I feel really ashamed because I hadn't seen it at the time.

[Smithereen1]

@Smithereen1 In case your wondering, I did one of the many shots of Kevin Spacey writing in the journal. It was sooo hard because of his incredibly tiny handwriting.

[hipnhappenin]

Any one else getting chills?

[Chago14789]

my balls just shrivled up, and i'm only 1:23 into the song...

[bleedleaf]

this song scares the shit outta me when im high

[xRockinBabyDoll94x]

I remember being so anxious to download this song onto my iPod.

I love the creepiness and the beautiful ambience to it, especially around 2:51!

DAMN its so eerie!!

I first heard this song when watching Se7en.

The song goes perfectly with the opening!

[civicpryde]

I lost this cd. It's on the closer to god remix right...thanks for posting this.

[infuriatedrain]

Gives me chills every time. Absolutely love the movie, love the song. Couldn't picture a better intro.

[whybother06]

Such a creepy, well-layered piece of music. But what is that little high-pitched bit at 0:33-0:40 - is that a bit of singing or an instrument? I swear I've heard it somewhere before, for some reason I'm thinking it's on the End of Days soundtrack.

[Drumma425]

@whybother06

Its from the end of closer

[mrzambonie69]

@whybother06

keyboard

[Packers909]

@whybother06 Thats a piano. At least that is what it sounded like in closer.

[Tsuki04wolf]

@whybother06

its a piano :)

[ifitscool]

@Tsuki04wolf LMAO...sorry but I actually laughed out loud. I dont mean to be rude but doesnt it sound like a piano?! ;P

In the original "closer" music video you see him playing that piano piece while floating... amusing for sure as is the entire video as well as the "closure" videos!

[Tsuki04wolf]

@ifitscool

lol it does, but hey the guy asked xD

[NickProPlayer326]

seven opening scene.....perfect song for it

[renegade12310]

this song is just ..... beautiful, nothing more, nothing less, this is my new soundtrack for life lol

[VideoCatFreak]

This track sounds like it will work very well in a Survival Horror game.

[Zueluzz]

I would like this better without the lyrics, just the music.

[ThomasJayDanaher]

the film seven with this as its opening scared me shitless when i was younger

[londea88]

@ThomasJayDanaher This opening is one of the best movie openings ever and way better than Silence of the lambs I'd even say se7en as a thriller imo is a close second to Silence of the lambs.

[IAMSOUP]

Kids today...they got no idea how much NIN did for music.

[iPhap]

Doubt NIN's impact on music was that profound, perhaps on the industrial genre, but not much in a broader sense. That being said, I'm a kid and I fucking love Trent Reznor, he's the god of lyrics.

Oh, and why the fuck did I have to watch a movie to figure out that there was a remix of Closer? Geez.

[gombie]

@IAMSOUP

Not much.

[acknowledge101]

@IAMSOUP You mean Coil

[ahsanabbaszaidi]

@IAMSOUP I am 17 an I Love NIN.



[Amrcnhdchrg]

@IAMSOUP Couldn't agree with you more ... 

[Toxic7Shadow]

@IAMSOUP 14 years old and i say the same thing

[RideTilThyDeath]

@IAMSOUP agree agree agree agree agree.....agree....How many times do I have to say it? Kids today don't even know anything...

[AspergerUprising]

This plays during the opening credits of the movie "Seven". Good movie.

[bwnorx]

so glad this finaly found its way on here. enjoy it while we can! this track probably plays during the walk into hell

[princedoza]

@bwnorx lol

[cn37766]

me too :)

[unaka2012]

I always liked this remix...

[gorboy]

Not a remix dude. This is the original EP.

[unaka2012]

Actually it is a mix/deconstruction/reconstruct­ion of Closer.

The Closer to God EP (halo 9) had six different mixes of Closer. The Downward Spiral (halo 8) had the original released version.

[zorlac774]

the original was also featured on Closer to God...but was originally released on The Downward Spiral \m/
